Félicien Rops

Important to at least one track on the new album. A genius, perhaps a pervert, maybe in a good way (maybe the only way). You could expect Austin Osman Spare but Rops was a far greater influence on the music in the early days of IX Tab because he'd crawled inside my skull by then and had settled, like those flies in The Wasp Factory. Homage required.
